Boom
e. Outer Boom
All outer boom pads (7) are mounted on the front of the
outer boom. Remove the top wear pads before removing
the bottom wear pads. Lower the gooseneck to the
ground until the intermediate boom raises up, providing
clearance for removing the bottom pads. Fill the grease
pockets (8) of the top rear boom wear pads with multi-
purpose grease. Use Loctite
®
242 (blue) on all wear pad
capscrews.
Use shims as required to maintain a maximum gap of
0.09" (2,3 mm) between the side wear pad and boom
surface.
3.9.3 Boom Wear Pad Lubrication
The boom has been factory lubricated for proper wear pad
break-in and will normally not require further lubrication.
However, after replacing any wear pad(s), or after
prolonged periods of inoperation, light lubrication of the
boom wear surfaces with a rust inhibitor/lubricant such as
LPS 3, or equivalent, is recommended to keep the boom
wear surfaces lubricated properly. Light lubrication of the
boom wear surfaces is also recommended in salt air
climates, and when the vehicle is stored, to help prevent
rusting.
3.10 QUICK ATTACH ASSEMBLY
This vehicle is equipped with a quick attach system for
easy attachment changes.
3.10.1 Disconnecting from an Attachment
1. Park the vehicle on a hard, level surface.
2. Ground the attachment, place the travel select lever
in the (N) NEUTRAL position, place the neutral lock
lever in the (N) NEUTRAL LOCK position and
engage the parking brake switch.
3. Extend the boom approximately 10 ft (3,05 m) and
tilt the carriage backward. Shut the engine OFF.
4. Exit the vehicle using both hand holds.
Note: If removing a standard carriage with forks, spread
the forks apart on the carriage shaft. This will help give
the carriage better support to stand alone.
5. Raise the quick attach pin lock lever (9) and pull out
the lock pin (10) at the bottom of the quick attach.
6. Return to the operator’s compartment, fasten the
seat belt and lower the attachment to the ground in a
level position. Tilt the attachment forward. This will
rotate the quick attach link back away from the
attachment.
7. Lower and then retract the boom until the
attachment pivot pins have disconnected from the
attachment.
